The 29th match of the 17th season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) was definitely very memorable for the cricket fans. In this match, where three consecutive sixes were seen from the bat of MS Dhoni, Rohit Sharma was also successful in playing a century innings in IPL after the year 2012. The end of this match played between Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings at Wankhede Stadium was also very exciting. CSK won the match by 20 runs in which Mathisha Pathirana made an important contribution in the victory by taking 4 wickets. After Mumbai’s defeat in this match, their captain Hardik Pandya blamed MS Dhoni as the main reason for this.
Dhoni keeps telling from behind the wicket what to do
Hardik Pandya said after the defeat in the match against Chennai Super Kings that this was a target which we should definitely have achieved, but they bowled very well, in which Pathirana made the biggest difference. CSK looked much better in their planning and how to execute it during the match. They have a person behind the wicket who keeps telling them what should be done on this wicket which will be right and this helps the bowlers a lot. The ball was coming with a slight halt on this pitch. We should have batted well. We had made a very good start while chasing the target until Pathirana came to bowl. As soon as he came he gave us two shocks.
We now have to focus on playing better in the next 4 matches
Mumbai Indians team captain Hardik Pandya further said in his statement regarding Shivam Dubey’s batting that it would have been a bit difficult for him to play against fast bowlers instead of spin, we could have done something different in it. Now we have to play the next four matches away from home and we have to focus on playing better in them. After the defeat in this match, Mumbai Indians team has reached 8th place in the points table after 4 defeats in 6 matches, in which its net run rate is also -0.234.
